The phase diagram of Yukawa particles confined between two parallel hard walls is calculated at zero-temperature beyond the bilayer regime by lattice-sum-minimization. Tuning the screening, a rich phase behavior is found in the regime bounded by stable two-triangular layers and 3-square layers. In this regime, alternating prism phases with square and triangular basis, structures derived from a hcp bulk lattice, and a structure with two outer layers and two inner staggered rectangular layers, reminiscent of a Belgian waffle iron, are stable. These structures are verifiable in experiments on charged colloidal suspensions and dusty plasma sheets.

Crystallization in a dense suspension of anisotropic spherical colloidal particles with a Yukawa potential is numerically investigated in a two-dimensional plane. It is found that a strong anisotropy can hinder the particles from crystallizing, while
a weak anisotropy but super-strong coupling facilitates colloids to freeze into a hexagonal crystal. Different criterions are employed to describe the phase transition, one can find that a competition between anisotropic degree and coupling strength shall widened the transition region in the phase diagram, where the heterogeneous structures coexist, which render as a quasi-platform stretched across the probability distribution curve of the local order parameter. Our study maybe helpful for the experiments relating to the crystallizing behavior in statistical physics, materials science and biophysical systems.
Direct correlation functions (DCFs), linked to the second functional derivative of the free energy with respect to the one-particle density, play a fundamental role in a statistical mechanics description of matter. This holds in particular for the or
dered phases: DCFs contain information about the local structure including defects and encode the thermodynamic properties of crystalline solids; they open a route to the elastic constants beyond low temperature expansions. Via a numerical tour de force we have explicitly calculated for the first time the DCF of a solid: based on the fundamental measure concept we provide results for the DCF of a hard sphere crystal. We demonstrate that this function differs at coexistence significantly from its liquid counterpart - both in shape as well as in its order of magnitude - because it is dominated by vacancies. We provide evidence that the traditional use of liquid DCFs in functional Taylor expansions of the free energy is conceptually wrong and show that the emergent elastic constants are in good agreement with simulation-based results.
We report a new type of fluid-based driven dissipative oscillator system consisting of a lattice of millimetric fluid droplets bouncing on a vertically vibrating liquid bath and bound within an annular ring. We characterize the system behavior as it
is energized through a progressive increase in the baths vibrational acceleration. Depending on the number of drops, the onset of motion of the lattice may take the form of either out-of-phase oscillations or a striking solitary wave-like instability. Theoretical modeling demonstrates that these behaviors may be attributed to different bifurcations at the onset of instability. The results presented here demonstrate the potential and utility of the walking droplet system as a platform for investigating wave-mediated, inertial, non-equilibrium particle dynamics at the macroscale.
Vertically vibrated rod-shaped granular materials confined to quasi-2D containers self organize into distinct patterns. We find, consistent with theory and simulation, a density dependent isotropic-nematic transition. Along the walls, rods interact s
terically to form a wetting layer. For high rod densities, complex patterns emerge as a result of competition between bulk and boundary alignment. A continuum elastic energy accounting for nematic distortion and local wall anchoring reproduces the structures seen experimentally.
Thin elastic membranes form complex wrinkle patterns when put on substrates of different shapes. Such patterns continue to receive attention across science and engineering. This is due, in part, to the promise of lithography-free micropatterning, but
also to the observation that similar patterns arise in biological systems from growth. The challenge is to explain the patterns in any given setup, even when they fail to be robust. Building on the theoretical foundation of [Tobasco, to appear in Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., arXiv:1906.02153], we derive a complete and simple rule set for wrinkles in the model system of a curved shell on a liquid bath. Our rules apply to shells whose initial Gaussian curvatures are of one sign, such as cutouts of saddles and spheres. They predict the surprising coexistence of orderly wrinkles alongside disordered regions where the response appears stochastic, which we confirm in experiment and simulation. They also unveil the role of the shells medial axis, a distinguished locus of points that we show is a basic driver in pattern selection. Finally, they explain how the sign of the shells initial curvature dictates the presence or lack of disorder. Armed with our simple rules, and the methodology underlying them, one can anticipate the creation of designer wrinkle patterns.
